Viswanathan Anand ended his stint with a draw against World Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway and finished at ninth position in the Sinquefield Cup in St. Louis,USA. For the Grand Chess tour standings, Anand just got two points, a big slip compared to 10 that the Indian ace earned by finishing second in the Norway tournament earlier this year. For Anand, the below-par performance with two losses and seven draws in the nine-round tournament also resulted in a slip from the second spot in the Grand Chess tour standings. Anand now stands sixth with 12 points in all while Topalov continued to top the 'tour' standings with 17 points in all but it's a very close race now with Nakamura on 16, Aronian on 15 and Carlsen on 14. Giri is fifth on 13 points.
